A

an exaggeration of the normal decrease in systolic blood pressure. to be considered abnormal, the drop must be greater than 10 mmHg . it is associated with cardiac tamponade

29

a state of ill health, malnutrition and wasting and is associated with long standing heart disease

31
Q

Cor pulmonale

A

combination of hypertrophy and dilatation of RV caused by PH that results from a process intrinsic to the lung

32
Q

juglar venous distention

A

a term widely used to indicate high pressure in the right heart

33
Q

describe diastolic dysfunction

A

ventricles’ ability to relax and fill

34
Q

3 things things that may impact 3DE by causing artifact

A
  1. respiration
  2. EKG gating
  3. incorrect gain setting
35
Q

Frank-Sterling Law

A

the greater the amount of blood entering the chamber (greater preload), the greater the contraction (force) required to expel the blood

36
Q

what is Interval-Strength Relationship ?

A

the longer the interval between heartbeats, the stronger the contraction to eject the blood

37
Q

what is PAP ?

Q

what are the 3 layers of the myocardium ?

A

epicardium
myocardium
endocardium

39
Q

Cartesian coordinate system

Q

strain phase _____ venous return, SV, CO and release phase ______ venous return, SV, CO

A

decrease

increase

42
Q

the degree of fiber stretch depends on the quantity of the blood in the chamber prior to contraction. T or F ?

A

T
